Simulate

Simulates model and stores results.

Action

Simulates the model and stores the results with the run name specified in Store results in run. The Fixed-Point Tool displays the run name in the Run column of the Contents pane.

Tips

Using the Simulate button is the same as simulating the model using the Run button in the Simulink model.

Command-Line Alternative

Command: sim

fxptdlg

Merge instrumentation results from multiple simulations

Control how simulation results are stored

Settings

Default: Off

On

Merges new simulation minimum and maximum results with existing simulation results in the run specified by the run name parameter. Allows you to collect complete range information from multiple test benches. Does not merge signal logging results.

Off

Clears all existing simulation results from the run specified by the run name parameter before displaying new simulation results.

Command-Line Alternative

Parameter: 'MinMaxOverflowArchiveMode'

Type: string

Value: 'Overwrite' | 'Merge'

Default: 'Overwrite'

Tip

Select this parameter to log simulation minimum and maximum values captured over multiple simulations.

Derive min/max values for selected system

Derive minimum and maximum values for signals for the selected system

The Fixed-Point Tool analyzes the selected system to compute derived minimum and maximum information based on the design minimum and maximum values specified on blocks. For example, using the Output minimum and Output maximum for block outputs.

Action

Analyzes the selected system to compute derived minimum and maximum information based on the design minimum and maximum values specified on blocks.

By default, the Fixed-Point Tool displays the Derived Min/Max View with the following information in the Contents pane.

•Name

•Run

•CompiledDesignMax

•CompiledDesignMin

•DerivedMax

•DerivedMin

•DesignMax

•DesignMin

If Highlight results with potential issues is selected, the tool alerts you to potential issues for each object in the list by highlighting the object in the Contents pane.

Command-Line Alternative

No command line alternative available.

Dependencies

Range analysis:

• Requires a Simulink Fixed Point license.

Highlight results with potential issues

Highlight results that have saturations, overflows or insufficient design min/max information to derive results.

Settings

Default: On

On

Highlight results with potential issues.

After simulating the model, the Fixed-Point Tool highlights results that have either saturations or overflows.

After analyzing the model to derive minimum and maximum values, the tool highlights both the results that have issues and the results that are likely to be the cause of the issue. For

example, if the tool cannot derive ranges for an object because an upstream object does not have sufficient design minimum and maximum information, it highlights both results.

The Fixed-Point Tool uses different colors to highlight the results that have issues and the results that might be the cause of issues.

Off

Do not highlight results. Remove existing highlighting.

Command-Line Alternative

No command line alternative available.

Tip

Select a highlighted result and click Show details for selected result to view more information about the issue.
